This person seems to forget that they’re talking to the guy that’s already lost a match to AJ Styles. Not to mention in recent years Jericho has taken losses to names like Bray Wyatt, Fandango, Ryback, Curtis Axel, Kevin Owens and the list goes on and on. Hell, most of what Chris Jericho does nowadays is put over younger talent, and he does it well.
AJ Styles and Chris Jericho are 1-1 so really, the important part is what happens next anyway. But in this case it seems appropriate to say, damned if you put someone over, damned if you don’t.
